Episode Notes

Jake, Nick and Will are back ahead of a busy summer of Test cricket and the Women's T20 World Cup!


The guys discuss what we need to see from Brendon McCullum's side to convince everyone that the ECB made the right decision to keep him on as head coach following the Ashes hammering.


We look at the impact Emilio Gay will have as an opener replacing Zak Crawley and what has changed for Ollie Robinson to be recalled. We also discuss what Ben Stokes potentially dropping down the order could mean and how Jofra Archer's absence due to the IPL has been handled by the ECB


Plus, the minute monologue is back where Will takes aim at online AI slop. And we answer your questions as usual

, too!
